lecturing ministry in the Church, adapted herself to life in Carmel so successfully

that she was canonized on Oct. 11.” P. 3-12

Edith Foss Materials

o Edith Foss (26 April 1907- ), nee Wallner, was a Viennese Jewish convert to the Catholic faith.

(Her name was Fössl, but she thought it best to change it to Foss, because, she said, Americans

would pronounce the Germanic form as "fossil.") In 1942, her director, Rev. Ludger Born, S.J.,

advised her to flee Austria because the Gestapo had discovered that she was engaged in

subversive activities -- namely, bringing food to Jewish children at the Relief Center. She

escaped by taking a train to the area of the Italian border and then walked across to safety thanks

to a friend who gave Edith her passport and her own courage.

States and was very active in the Edith Stein Guild in NY.
